Stunning trucks on display at Waterford Show

August 26, 2023

The Waterford Truck Show celebrated several important anniversaries within the truck industry. However, the real attractions at this event were the trucks on display: they are real eye candy!

Last month, in conjunction with the Dungarvan Agricultural Show, County Waterford gathered over 500 working trucks and fleets in the coastal Irish town, alongside vintage, classic, and show trucks from all over Ireland and the UK. In addition to celebrating its 10^th anniversary, the show commemorated the 30^th anniversary of the original Volvo FH, the 35^th anniversary of Scania’s 3 Series, and the 50^th anniversary of DAF Trucks in Ireland.

As a not-for-profit organisation, the event continued its partnership with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) Dungarvan/Helvick Head base.

Hannah Lonergan, marketing manager for the Waterford Truck Show, welcomed Prometeon Tyre Group (Pirelli Truck & Bus) and its Irish distributor Heffernan Tyres, as the main sponsors of the 2023 Show.

“Waterford Truck Show has cemented itself as an ‘old school’ show, all about treating everyone with a love for lorries to a well-deserved day out. While there are always many exemplary show spec trucks in attendance, it is not particularly a ‘show and shine’ event with prizes,” says Lonergan. “At its core, it is a show for the everyday working owner and driver, and is all about catching up with friends and making new ones, admiring trucks (from brand new to vintage), having a chance to reminisce on the good ol’ days, and sharing each other’s passion for the industry.”

We reckon the show features some of the most beautiful trucks on the planet!
